the Government and receives its funding from advertising Channel 4 Headquarters on Horseferry Road] https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/04...9099305670.jpg [Nadine Dorries says Channel 4 will have 'freedom to flourish' and take on Netflix and Amazon when it is sold off in £1billion privatisation that has 'disappointed' TV staff who may fight move A spokesperson for Channel 4 said that it was 'disappointed' with the decision But added they would 'continue to engage' with the Government on the process This would 'ensure it continues to play a unique part in Britain's creative ecology' In an internal email to staff, Channel 4 chief executive Alex Mahon said her priority was to 'look after all of you and the wonderful Channel 4 spirit' Ministers think that government ownership of C4 is 'holding it back' and that privatising the broadcaster would 'remove its straitjacket'] ['Following a consultation, ministers have decided that, although C4 as a business is currently performing well, government ownership is holding it back in the face of a rapidly changing and competitive media landscape. 'C4 is a great business with a strong brand built around it being creative, innovative and distinctive but a change of ownership will remove its straitjacket, giving C4 the freedom to innovate and grow so it can flourish and thrive long into the future and support the whole of the UK creative industries.] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-election.html |

Any media critical of government must be silenced. The Orbanisation of the UK continues at pace. This will be sold to a person or group with tory sympathies.
The jam-maker was dangerous though... |
